UPDATE 16/10/15: We’ve Added Updated Maps for PAX Aus 2015
The PAX Australia 2015 Panels announced are in the schedule below. Check out the original announcement on the official website here.
Last year we took a look at the PAX AUS 2014 Panels and the time has come for the PAX AUS 2015 Schedule to go live!.
We’ll be getting in contact with some of the organisers to see what else we can find out leading up to PAX. Until then, it’s probably worth downloading the Official PAX Aus mobile apps for iPhone or Android.
Leading up to the end of October, you’ll start seeing more announcements on the different types of panels.
The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center (MCEC) is a big place and PAX Australia will be taking over 6 theatres. From what’s already been announced there is an estimated 100(ish) panels and 150 exhibitors over the course of the event.
As the schedule starts to fill out, you can feel overwhelmed by the excitement levels. Make sure you check out our PAX Australia survival guide on tips to overcome this feeling (Pirate Ships are involved).
Stay tuned to Non-Fiction Gaming through Facebook and Twitter as more updates will be coming in over the next 2-3 weeks.
- Main Theatre (Lvl 0, Convention Centre)
- Wombat Theatre (Lvl 0, Convention Centre)
- Dropbear Theatre (Lvl 1, Exhibition Centre)
- Kookaburra Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
- Galah Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
- Fruitbat Theatre (Lvl 2, Convention Centre)
The Full Map from last year should still be valid, though we will update once the new one comes through.
